America's West Coast by Train | Amtrak Pacific Surfliner | Business Class | San Diego - Los Angeles
In this travelmentary or trip report I review Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner on my trip from San Diego (Santa Fe Depot) to Los Angeles (Union Station). I booked a business class ticket and filmed my travel experience in California. Business Class can be seen as First Class - it‘s the highest booking class on this train.

Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner: Los Angeles to San Diego
We’re going to take a ride on Amtrak’s “Pacific Surfliner” train between Los Angeles and San Diego, California. Departing Los Angeles out of famous Union Station, we’ll head south along the coast, paralleling the Pacific Ocean for several miles, with many different points of interest along the way. We arrive in San Diego at the historic Santa Fe depot, a hub of rail activity featuring Coaster commuter trains and the San Diego Trolley. Experience it all aboard the Surfliner on a beautiful October day in Southern California.

Mid-Coast Trolley Extension San Diego 4K
The Mid-Coast Trolley Extension is a SANDAG project that will look to extend the blue line trolley service from Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego to the University community, serving major activity centers such as Old Town, UC San Diego, and University Town Centre (UTC). Construction began in fall 2016 and service is anticipated to begin in late 2021. The aerial 4K video clips in this footage are of the balboa ave station. There will be 9 new trolley stations once finished.
Trains in San Diego, California (Pacific Surfliner, Coaster, Trolley)
This short film shows the different types of trains that are present in San Diego, California.
The Pacific Surfliner is a train line operated by Amtrak between San Diego and San Luis Obispo. The Coaster is a local commuter rail line (yet served by gigantic rolling stock) running between San Diego and Oceanside. Finally, the San Diego Trolley is a light rail tram system serving San Diego and its suburbs.
This film briefly shows all three types of transport. Note that the last scenes at San Ysidro are filmed directly by the United States–Mexican border.
I will soon upload a longer film dedicated to the tram.

ABOUT THIS FEED:
San Juan Capistrano, California, is located in Orange County, and is located on Metrolink's Orange Subdivision, the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) line between their mainline at Fullerton and San Diego.
The station sees about 24 Amtraks (Pacific Surfliner) and 16 Metrolinks (Inland Empire & Orange County lines) each weekday.
About 4 BNSF freight trains run overnight from Barstow, CA, to San Diego. They do not pass through Fullerton, as they must use the Olive Sub 5 miles east, at Atwood Junction.
The station was built in 1894 by the Santa Fe, in their typical Mission Style.
This is a designated quiet zone (QZ), but crews can use the horns at their discretion anytime. The crossing seen in camera view is no longer a street, and is now pedestrian-only.
There is an ATCS layout, but with little to no data (server) coverage.
There is a second radio feed available, covering not only the Orange Sub, but also the Olive and San Bernardino Subs:
The camera is a 360, providing full range of motion when an operator is present.
When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. You can figure out the next Amtrak passenger train with this handy, link:
For Metrolink:
There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.

San Diego Destinations-Santa Fe Train Depot
The main thing you notice when you first visit the historic downtown Santa Fe Depot is its timeless Spanish Mission style beauty. Otherwise known as the Amtrak Train Station, the Santa Fe Depot has been a bustling hub of activity since 1915 and almost met the wrecking ball back in 1971. Thanks to a group of dedicated local residents for opposing the tear down and allowing history to remain and unfold on the tracks.
